See example with OpenLayers 2 and Google Earth plugin: http://plan.epfl.ch/?lang=en, click in the right menu on 3d. 2D and 3D are snychronized.
Question: How do get the same control feeling when manipulating the Ol3 view / the Cesium view?
Uses cases are: stacked views or separated views like for EPFL.
## Smooth transition between 2d and 3d
Idea: A la google map, share the bottom line and tilt. Forward and Backward.

Remarks:
* all directions must be handled (not just NS and EW);
* all tilted situations must be handled (starting from an arbitrary tilted angle).
## Sync raster data sources
Idea: If a user adds a WMS/TMS/WMTS layer to ol3.js map it should also be added to the cesium globe.
